Funeral
The design of this sympathy card feels like stepping into a misty Kenton morning, when the streets are still and the light is soft over the gardens off Kenton Road. Tall, slender wildflower stems stretch upwards across the card, crowned with delicate, lace-like umbel heads painted in muted violets, dusty blues, and cool greys. The blooms are not heavy or crowded; instead they appear weightless, with the outermost petals fading almost to transparency, as though they were made of breath or fine silk. A gentle watercolour wash of pale lavender and silvery green flows behind them, with no sharp outlines, just soft merging tones that mimic a sky just after rainfall. Among the flowers, translucent butterflies float with wings only lightly detailed, as if they could drift away at any moment on a quiet breeze blowing in from nearby parks or gardens. The entire composition is calm and contemplative, leaving room for reflection. It carries the same feeling as standing alone with your thoughts before a funeral service, listening only to your own breathing. There is no bold lettering to jar the eye, only a sense of compassion woven through colour, shape, and empty space. From the perspective of a florist accustomed to guiding Kenton families through the tender process of choosing funeral flowers and sympathy cards, this design feels like a gentle, visual embrace: respectful, understated, and perfectly suited to accompany a hand-crafted condolence bouquet delivered to a loved one's home or to a local chapel.
